The following Jerome Gambit game was played at a time control of one minute, no increment. Yet, it plays like one conducted at a much slower pace - absent the wild flying and dropped pieces. It appears to be a serious Jerome - if there is such a thing.

Sometimes the Queen belongs here, sometimes it doesn't. Black builds a do-it-yourself defense.

Interesting. When the "Jerome pawns" start rolling, the game will become a fine battle.

Black has returned the sacrificed piece, and does not appear concerned about being a pawn down - his King is well-placed for defense, and the Bishops-of-opposite-colors suggest a draw is possible.
Unfortunately, he has overlooked something, as White immediately shows. After recovering the piece, angelcamina shows that opposite colors Bishop middle games are often not drawn.
